Doula Support

We provide birth and postpartum doula support to new mothers and their partners in the Austin, Texas area.

Our goal is to provide expectant parents with the knowledge and guidance they need to plan the birth experience they want, free from judgment and negativity. We offer the highest level of emotional and physical support to bring your birth vision to fruition from the time leading up to your due date, through your labor, and after your delivery

We provide evidence based information on things such as infant feeding, emotional and physical recovery from birth, mother–baby bonding, infant soothing, and basic newborn care. We are there to help new families for days and weeks after bringing a new baby home and support the whole family to provide an easy transition.
